[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 30s and female and work with a lot of older men. The men I work with would never let me hold a door. It's just how it is. It would make them uncomfortable to watch me hold it while they sauntered through. Yes, it's an older tradition, but it's more awkward to try to avoid it. They also all wait until the women get in and out of the elevators first.[/quote] Same. The older men will actually speed up past me to get the door before I can. And even if they're closer to the door in the elevator, they always part and insist women go first. I think it's just a manners/age thing. The younger men do something similar to what OP described; first person to the door holds it open, and 2nd person through the door holds open the inner door. Most of the time younger men don't even hold the door open. They'll do that thing where they push it hard so it swings wide open for the next person to catch. [/quote]
